%T Self-archiving practice and the influence of publisher policies in the social sciences
%X Authors in different disciplines exhibit very different behaviours on the so-called ?green? road to open access, i.e. self-archiving. This study looks at the self-archiving behaviour of authors publishing in leading journals in six social science disciplines. It tests the hypothesis that authors are self-archiving according to the norms of their respective disciplines rather than following self-archiving policies of publishers, and that, as a result, they are self-archiving significant numbers of publisher PDF versions. It finds significant levels of 
self-archiving, as well as significant self-archiving of 
the publisher PDF version, in all the disciplines 
investigated. Publishers? self-archiving policies have 
no influence on author self-archiving practice.
